Farming has never been only about the land. It is the planning, the records, the water and electricity, the cashflow, the deadlines and the messages, all of it carried at once, all of it on you. Farmers' AIde is an assistant that carries that load with you. It works the way you already use your phone, you write to it or speak to it the way you send a message and it helps you keep track, remember and decide. You stay in control. The assistant does the carrying.
A look at the assistant
What it does
Farmers' AIde keeps track of your tasks and reminders, watches the things that are easy to lose sight of such as water, electricity, stock and cashflow, brings you the market and price information you cannot always get to, catches the calls, messages and deadlines that slip through a busy day and is there to talk a decision through when you need it. It runs over the internet on the phone you already carry, with a computer screen for deeper work, so there is nothing to buy and nothing to install on the farm.
Built with farmers, funded by farmers
Farmers' AIde is being built now, with a small group of founding farmers from De Rust and the Klein Karoo who are helping shape it and helping fund the build. Our focus is to extend to the whole of South Africa and beyond. If you are not located in the Klein Karoo, you are still welcome to contact us. Founding farmers get the tool at the founder price for years, a say in what it does and recognition as one of the farmers who made it. This is a pre-paid licence and a founder price, not an investment.
The survey
We are asking farmers what they need before we build it. The survey takes about five minutes and your answers shape the tool. At the end, if you wish, you can say whether you would like to become a founding farmer. No payment is made through the survey.
